Additionally, KIA USA is set to introduce various new versions of the Sorento for users, ranging from the base model to high-end versions with more features and amenities.

As you may already know, the 2024 Kia Sorento Facelift boasts an elegant and powerful exterior design based on Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the boldness of the brand’s design philosophy, Kia has taken the interior and exterior design of the Sorento to a new level, resulting in a more luxurious appearance.

Firstly, you will notice that the front of the car has been redesigned, emphasized by the sleeker vertically-stacked LED headlights. The T-shaped daytime running lights of the Sorento take cues from the design of Kia’s flagship electric model, the EV9, while also reminiscent of the smaller electric model, the EV5. The 3D tiger-nose grille is similar to that of the Carnival.

The rear of the car has also been refined, with changes made to the design of the taillights and the lower bumper trim. Personally, I really like the design of the rear of the Sorento as it gives off a sporty and masculine appeal. On the other hand, the design of the sides of the car has remained relatively unchanged, except for the addition of new, more muscular wheels.

For the 2024 Kia Sorento, the designers have created a more logical layout for the dashboard. The specific equipment for the US version of the Sorento is yet to be known. However, based on the Korean version, the car will come equipped with a new curved large screen, which combines two 12.3-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. This new design gives the interior of the 2024 Kia Sorento a clean and modern look.

Kia has incorporated several advanced technical features into the Sorento to provide customers with a new mobile experience. The new Sorento supports wireless software updates, allowing customers to update map information or control features directly on the car without visiting a service center. It also features the e-pass payment function, enabling toll payments without the need for a physical Hi-pass card.

Another notable addition to the Sorento’s technology features is the fingerprint authentication system, which allows users to verify their identity in order to start the car or perform simple payment transactions. Additionally, the car is equipped with the Kia Digital Key 2, offering the driver the ability to unlock and open the car when approaching with a smartphone or smartwatch, eliminating the need for a physical smart key. It also supports personalized settings for individual users.

The car is also available with new interior upholstery options, including a black/brown combination.

In South Korea, the new Kia Sorento is available with three different drivetrain options, including a turbocharged 2.5L gasoline engine, a 2.2L diesel engine, and a 1.6L gasoline-hybrid engine. These engine options are offered in four different trim levels named Prestige, Noblesse, Trendy, and Signature.

With its appealing and convenient features, the new Kia Sorento is sure to be a hit in Vietnam, don’t you think?
